The Snake in Eden
This poem is a response to the song 'The Snake" by Al Wilson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULx9k2QkL94
A song used by Donald Trump to describe Immigrants into America
The Snake in Eden
Horse straddling on a
beach one morning
Down the sea side with
the sun shining
A large hearted Indian Chief saw a slithering white snake on the sea side
A large hearted Indian Chief saw a slithering white snake on the sea side
Beautiful and innocent
outside and presumed would be the same deep inside
Welcome to my Eden,
you white beautiful creation of God, said the Chief
Come and partake in my
bounty, not realizing he would be refuging a thief
Thank you for letting
me in Oh High Chief
Thank you and I plan
to be here only a brief
Thank you for realizing
I am a creation of God
Snickering fangs of
weapons with a vicious nod
Hugged the snake and
gave him a peck
Not realizing he had
coiled around his neck
The snake multiplied
and the Indian tribe diminished
Diminished with fangs
of weapons and their freedom finished
Regaling the Indians
to the corner of a land the snake hissed
Thank you for letting
me in Oh High Chief
Thank you and I plan
to be here only a brief
Thank you for realizing
I am a creation of God
Snickering fangs of
weapons with a vicious nod
The Indian cried as
his tribe was killed and land taken
“Why Why to me who
took you in, you have forsaken”
“How can a creation of
God be so evil?”
Not realizing the
snake was the devil
Thank you for letting
me in Oh High Chief
Thank you and I plan
to be here only a brief
Thank you for realizing
I am a creation of God
Snickering fangs of
weapons with a vicious nod
The devil slaved other
creations of God
Snickering his fangs
with a vicious nod
He made the Garden of
Eden and Hell on earth
Destroying all moral
values and making it dearth
Thank you for letting
me in Oh High Chief
Thank you and I plan
to be here only a brief
Thank you for realizing
I am a creation of God
Snickering fangs of
weapons with a vicious nod
Others who came to
prosper the land and to prosper
He termed them as
snakes who came to plunder
The Chief cried’ “Let
them stay as they contribute”
The devil wanted them,
only to exploit them and loot
The Chief cried louder
“I sheltered you and you destroyed me, Why?
Hello with you Chief,
I came here to live and don’t care if you die
Thank you for letting
me in Oh High Chief
As I plan to live here
forever and can be here only a brief
Thank you for realizing
I am a creation of God
Snickering fangs of
weapons with a vicious nod
